Rush on McGreevy: Sympathy for living a lie
vanity | August 13, 2004 | Vanity

Posted on 08/13/2004 9:53:21 AM PDT by fightinJAG

Okay, please don't flame me. I'm honestly interested in what freepers think about this.

Ever since Rush came back from rehab and started talking about "living a lie" and "not being able to make other people happy" and all that, I've had the uneasy feeling that Rush had "discovered" something more about himself than he was letting on.

Today, listening to Rush as he talked about his empathy for McGreevy, it seemed inevitable to wonder if Rush's empathy (and, please, if you did not hear Rush's comments, realize it's difficult to assess the tone and emotion with which he delivered them) wasn't tied back to his own "living a lie" struggles.

Yes, it would be easy to think that the "lie" was his drug addiction, but . . . I'm posting this because it really seemed as though Rush might be warming up to his own bombshell (whatever that might be).

His commentary was so passionate, in a personal, not political way, that I even wondered if he was (unconsciously) seeing if he could start a thread like this, in order to see what the speculation might be and what the reaction to that speculation might be.

Who heard Rush's opening commentary on McGreevy and what was your reaction/thoughts? Thanks. I'd be interested to know.

I've been scanning this thread and I think the whole thing is ridiculous. He's talking about the pain of living a lie, and empathizing with McGreevey on that basis.

But for goodness sake people, that DOESN'T MEAN IT'S SAME LIE.

Sheesh.

Wasn't there a once a song: "Don't Fear the Freeper"?

Ah, no. It was 'Don't stune the beeber'.

Rush, maybe a spin record being set here. You just sound weird today and from the calls you've had on the subject and these threads, we recognize somethings amiss or different.

I personally believe that Rush is trying to make a point by making the libs in NJ look really shallow by pushing out the governer. He is trying to show that we are more compassionate by pointing out how incompassionate the left is. It is a great example of how the left is 'full of sound and fury but signifying NOTHING!'

What are you referring to?

Well, spouses by their behavior showing that they definitely are not loving and cherishing, for example. It doesn't have to mean cheating. There are many ways for a spouse to be cruel.

What Rush might be doing is setting Hanoi john up. He is stressing the point that liars have hidden problems.

Well some of us are.

But not everyone is, Rush! Keep up the good work.

It's perfectly normal to feel sorry for Clinton, but that doesn't mean you can't think he's an sob.

Not even close. Now if he mentions moose or cheese, this thread could really break loose.

Maybe Rush has had it with all the B***h's and decided to take a walk on the wild side.

Homosexuality is a little more complicated than that, not so much a choice, but yes it is a choice, and God did not make them that way.

The North American Man/Boy Love Association NAMBLA has a motto that goes something like this;

"After eight is too late"

They abuse young boys to imprint them with the experience.

There are lots of websites dealing with these creeps.

Why is Rush allowing all the calls on his opening monologue?

Why is it causing so much commotion with people?
